Africa is a vast continent spanning over 8,000km (5,000 mi) north to south and 7,500 km (4,800 mi) east to west (not including islands) and contains a wide array of people, ethnicity, religions, and cultures.

South Africa is located on the southern tip of the African continent, bordered by northern neighbours Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. It encompasses the independent mountain kingdoms of Lesotho and Swaziland and is flanked by the Atlantic Ocean on the west and the warm Indian Ocean on the east - giving the country its spectacular range of biodiversity.

South Africa is one of the most diverse and interesting countries in the world.

Situated on the South Eastern tip of Africa, the Western Cape is a jewel of Africa. This site includes information on the towns in the region, attractions, things to do, accommodation, dining, weddings and so much more.

The Cape Winelands is situated in close proximity to Cape Town, with the towns of Stellenbosch and Paarl less than 30 minutes drive from Cape Town International Airport and Worcester only 60 minutes drive away. The region includes the following major towns:

The Northern Cape is both the largest and least populated province in South Africa. It is vast, dry and at times very cold with snow common on the southern plains that reach between 1200 and 1800 metres in altitude. The Northern Cape Province is probably most well known for its diamond mines in Kimberley, the game reserves of the Kalahari and its clear nights which are ideal for star gazing.

The Green Kalahari is a region of the Northern Cape that is full of wonders ... As you enter the Green Kalahari you will be amazed by the contrasting unspoiled semi-desert against the lush vineyards that fill the fertile valleys of the Orange River.

Namakwa is a seemingly arid, semi-desert region hiding huge reservoirs of mineral and floral wealth. This is a land where ancient history, modern technology and the universe come together in harmonious glory! Namakwa encompasses the unspoiled expanses of Namaqualand and Hantam Karoo and it is a land of mystery and enchantment moulded by the unforgiving climate.

The Free State is a region wedged between the magnificent Orange and Vaal Rivers and is a rural Province of wide horizons, blue skies; with farmlands, mountains, goldfields and widely dispersed towns. The Orange River forms the southern boundary of the Free State and includes the Gariep and Vanderkloof Dams, which are the largest dams in the country.

Limpopo was first called the Northern Transvaal, but later took its name from the Limpopo River, the most prominent feature of the province. Limpopo is a great tourist attraction and is known as a peaceful province with over 50 provincial reserves and private game reserves. The Waterberg mountain range is home to farming and game ranching, nature reserves and resorts.

The Waterberg region is located near the majestic Waterberg Mountain Range away from the hustle and bustle of city life. This region is known for its natural beauty, bushveld savannah and large animal population.

Mpumalanga, meaning "land of the rising sun” in the local SiSwati language, is South Africa's top tourist destination. Situated on the North East border of South Africa bounded by Swaziland and Mozambique, the province is made up of two distinctly contrasting types of scenery which are: the dramatic topography of escarpment and the bush of the lowveld.

​The ‘Lowveld’ is that part of South Africa between the eastern escarpment and the Lubombo mountains on the Mozambique border. Much of this region is occupied by the vast Kruger National Park and adjacent private reserves including the Sabi-Sand and Timbavati.

Gauteng is South Africa's smallest province, making up only 1.4% of the country's land area, but housing nearly 25% of South Africa's population as it is the country's economic centre. The province serves as the commercial hub for many overseas companies operating in South Africa and is a major centre for the financial, transport and technology sectors in the country.

The Johannesburg Metro lies in the heart of Gauteng​ in South Africa. Johannesburg Metro is the region with the highest population in South Africa, with almost eight million people living in an area no more than 60km in any direction. It is a contrast of high-rise glass and chrome corporate headquarters and third world tin shacks.

The Tshwane Metropolitan and Metsweding areas are based north of Johannesburg. Tshwane, which was previously called Northern Gauteng, is dominated by the fast-growing city of Pretoria, South Africa's administrative capital, and its many suburbs. Its city centre is a treasure of stately buildings.

The most western region of Gauteng is the West Rand. West Rand extends from Randfontein in the west to Roodepoort in the east, and includes the town of Krugersdorp. It has taken European settlers just over a century to create its large but personable towns and efficient network of roads. But nature takes its time, and has given this region its greatest creations.
